Happy Birthday, Tormato Tormahto!

I hope you were able to discover serendipitously that dark chocolate is the best remedy for coughs. More effective than codeine!

Happy birthday, Tormato! Hope you recover quickly and feel much better. Lousy to feel punky and tired. Chicken soup and lemon tea suggested.

A bit late to the party ... I hope you had a great birthday and I wish you the best!

Please get healthy first, before you start stressing yourself with the MMMM swap again!

Happy Birthday! Sorry about this debilitating health condition you are battling.

I think the best gift for your birthday @Tormato would be some warm and sunny weather. Hard to lick persistent infections in cold, cloudy and damp weather. I remember April, especially early in April often being rather cold, cloudy, raw and damp up there, but things usually turned around for the better by May.

Vitamin D (really not a vitamin but a hormone) in sufficient quantities is absolutely vital to good long term health, physical and mental. Studies have proven people in Massachusetts and other northern areas are chronically low, sometimes undetectable, on Vitamin D, especially coming out of winter. Vitamin D isn’t always well absorbed in supplements and the sun is way too weak at that latitude in winter make enough vitamin D by exposure.

Eat some sardines,mackerel or herring until the good warm sun returns, fish like those have a lot of vitamin D.

Seriously, hope your health improves. My dad battled long Covid for months and it is no joke. I think he has mostly beaten it now. He’s as dark as old catcher’s mitt or George Hamilton was in his hay day. I credit the tan to the defeat of the disease. Easy to get a tan here, though.

Happy belated birthday and welcome to the 66 club from flyover country. I am feeling my age more so this year in potting all the seedlings trays and getting the remote garden prepped for the transplants.

I can't accept that a medical center in the United States would turn away a person in need of urgent medical care. I hope someone with experience in Medicare or other methods or agencies will step up and PM you and direct you to resources for medical assistance.

On another note, Bower mentioned Elderberry Syrup. I have a few packets of frozen native homegrown berries but no canner at this time. I will get to work on finding a neighbor to do the syrup making and bottling or canning. Please pm me if you would be open to seeing if this helps (and any food allergies). I'm all medicated for other conditions have never consumed elderberry products myself.
